When Will It Be Done!?
Overview
Projects sometimes seemed to spin up out of nowhere, strike when least expected, and leave a trail of disruption in their wake. Though often the butt of jokes, weather forecasting—and in particular hurricane forecasting—had become surprisingly accurate over the past few decades. This increased accuracy was largely due to the rigorous application of proven techniques like Monte Carlo Simulation and Continuous Forecasting.
In this session, we explored some of those practices and discussed how they could be employed to answer the question, “When will it be done?” more effectively. We walked through real-world examples that demonstrated how to get started with these methods immediately, helping teams reduce uncertainty and improve project delivery.
